Abstract
Nacionalni park Plitvička jezera na UNESCO-v Popis svjetske baštine svrstana su 1979. godine. Od tada UNESCO prati rad NP Plitvička jezera te po potrebi šalje Misije kako bi Odbor svjetske baštine izvijestili o radu NP-a. Sve veće zanimanje turista za nacionalnim parkom povlači problem prenapučenosti što ugrožava izvanrednu univerzalnu vrijednost tj. narušava zaštićeno područje parka. U ovom radu se iznose problemi koje je Misija otkrila za svojeg boravka u Parku 2017. godine te moguća rješenja tih problema. Odbor svjetske baštine izrazio je zabrinutost o očuvanju parka te je „zaprijetio“ svrstavanjem NP Plitvička jezera na Popis ugrožene svjetske baštine, ako se ne poduzmu neke ključne mjere zaštite tog područja.The Plitvice Lakes National Park is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979. Since then, UNESCO has been monitoring the work of the Plitvice Lakes National Park and, where appropriate, sending missions to report to the World Heritage Committee on the work of the NP. The growing interest of tourists in the national park is raising the problem of overcrowding, which threatens the extraordinary universal value, that is, damages the protected area of the park. This paper outlines the problems that the Mission discovered during its stay in the park in 2017 and possible solutions to these problems. The World Heritage Committee has expressed concern about the conservation of the park and has "threatened" its listing the Plitvice Lakes National Park on the List of World Heritage in Danger unless some key measures are taken to protect the site
